Following Superman’s 75th birthday last year, another of DC’s biggest stars is set to hit the three-quarter century mark in 2014. Like his fellow DC superhero, Batman has celebrated the landmark occasion with an animated anniversary short, created by producer Bruce Timm.
The three-minute animation was developed from a lost tale from Batman’s past, and sees the Dark Knight battle a strange giant and rescue a damsel in distress...

A lot’s been happening this week in the world of the comic book movies so we’re going to catch you up on everything you need to know. There’s loads to get through so let’s get started.
Iron Man 3
We had a new trailer for starters and we got to see Stark’s Iron Legion. Robert Downey Jr spoke about his experiences filming the HUD sequences and how it feels to wear the Iron Man suit. Over at Collider, they enjoyed an in-depth...

I know this is a big claim, but I think that The Avengers has just been knocked off the top spot for superhero movies. Sure it may not gross as high and the film may not have the mass appeal that the family friendly action blockbuster had, but The Dark Knight Rises fills a very different and equally important role in the landscape of superhero films.
Let me start of by saying that The Dark Knight Rises is less of a Batman film, and more of a Bruce...

GIVEN the volume of leaks, teasers and plain guesswork by some film blogs, it may feel like we’ve already seen everything we could have from Chris Nolan‘s Batman finale.
Thankfully, that isn’t the case.
Now, we get the chance to watch a full length trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. We meet Selina Kyle aka Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) as well as uber-villain Bane (Tom Hardy).
In fact, Bane utters a quite chilling line to Batman that...

Vile Villains Face Off
Anthony Van Laast, whose previous credits include Mamma Mia and Sister Act, flew in his much debated and highly anticipated adrenaline ride, Batman Live. I headed up to sightsee Gotham City first hand in Sheffield (Motorpoint Arena) for the first of seven shows in the city, spanning over a tour of 55 dates in the UK before heading overseas to take on Europe.
The £12 million Dark Knight stage spectacular (“It takes...

TOM HARDY is everywhere at the moment. And rightly so.
The Brit actor has already been on the receiving end of praise thanks to turns in Bronson and Inception and he’s set to light up the screen in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and as Bane in Chris Nolan‘s eagerly-anticipated Batman finale – The Dark Knight Rises.
But next up for the Hammersmith born star is Gavin O’Connor‘s bone-crunching drama Warrior.
Two brothers...

AFTER much speculation, the first official photograph of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman has finally been released.
Taking the character into the 21st century – and given the fact director Chris Nolan admits he wants to make her less sexual – Hathaway certainly looks to be taking the role of Selina Kyle‘s alter-ego seriously.
The release of The Dark Knight Rises may be just under a year away, but the teaser images released so far have...

FILMS based on comics are quickly cluttering up the cinema box office.
Marvel seems to have stolen a march this year with the epic X-Men: First Class, while Thor was passable.
And they still have to release Captain America. DC seems to be hedging their bets on next year’s grand finale to Chris Nolan‘s Batman trilogy – The Dark Knight Rises.
However, this year they have thrown their hat into ring with second-tier superhero Green...

HANS ZIMMER has become the latest person connected with The Dark Knight Rises to whet our appetites with a sliver of detail about what we can expect – this time regarding the score.
While Chris Nolan has remained deathly silent about the highly-anticipated follow-up to The Dark Knight, composer Zimmer has told fans to expect something “epic” and “iconic”.
Speaking on MTV News, Zimmer said: “One thing I can tell...
